Star Anise, locally called Chakra Poolu, is a star-shaped spice with a sweet-licorice flavor and rich aroma. Sourced from high-quality farms and offered by Budget Baskets 4U, it is used in biryanis, masala chai, garam masala, and traditional medicines for its deep, warming flavor and fragrance.
Whole star anise adds a visual appeal along with flavor, especially in festive and aromatic recipes.
